HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity （Oral）	Not classified	-	-	-	-	SPECIES: Rat ENDPOINT: LD50 VALUE: 15400 mg/kg REFERENCE SOURCE: RTECS (2004)
1	Acute toxicity （Dermal）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Although there are data of >3 gm/kg (RTECS (2004)) of a rabbit, it cannot be specified as LD50 value.
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases）	Not applicable	-	-	-	-	Solid (GHS definition)
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
1	Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available

4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Although we have the positive findings by the somatic cell in vivo genotoxicity study (the DNA adduct formation examination of the rat alveolar cells, and the rat alveolar cells hprt mutation examination)(DFGOTvol.18 (2002)), we have no data in which the positive result has been clearly shown in the in vitro mutagenicity test.

P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P281: Use personal protective equipment as required. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	It is based on 2B of IARC classification and 2nd group B of Japan Society for Occupational Health.
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available

P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...	It is classified into Category 1 based on the pneumoconosis on humans (DFGOT vol.18 (2002)) and the influence on lungs (a epithelial hyperplasia, metaplasia, pulmonary fibrosis, and multiplication of alveolar cell etc.) (DFGOTvol.18 (2002)) in a rat inhalation test at the range of the guidance value Category 1.
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	No data available

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Symbol	Signal word	Hazard statement	Precautionary statement	Rationale for the classification
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute）	Not classified	-	-	-	-	Since it was suggested from 24-hour EC50>5600mg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (IUCLID, 2000) that relevant toxicity is not indicated in the water solubility (insoluble (HSDB, 2004)) of this substance, it carried out the outside of Category.
11	Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term）	Classification not possible	-	-	-	-	Classification not possible, since water-insolubule and no acute toxicity is reported within the saturated aqueous solution, and behavior in water and bioaccumulative potential are unknown.
